Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

In the end, Concubine Dong couldn't really say anything to the Fourth Prince, nor did she dare to imprison her beloved son. She could only let her people keep a close eye on the Fourth Prince and stop him when he tried to do something wrong.

At the same time, Concubine Dong couldn't help but resent the young lady from the Right Prime Minister's family in her heart. Instead of staying in the mansion to embroider and play the piano, she ran out to provoke her son. Wasn't this intentional to make her feel uncomfortable?

But Concubine Dong would not say these words out loud, because she knew that she was just venting her anger on her son, Li Changxuan, and the biggest fault lay with him. He could have fallen in love with anyone else, but he chose the daughter of the Right Prime Minister. She had clearly told him before not to get close to the daughter of a high-ranking official, otherwise it would cause dissatisfaction among the emperor, but he still acted arbitrarily.

After Li Changxuan drove away Nanny Hai, he prepared to hold a banquet so that he would have a reason to contact Yu Zinyin. In addition, in order to avoid the sight of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and contact Yu Zinyin directly, he only invited young people to come to the Prince's Mansion to play, so as to create an opportunity to be alone with Yu Zinyin.

Of course, he also followed the advice of some people around him, which was not to invite his brothers. His eldest brother was at odds with him, so he wouldn't come even if he invited him. His second brother had been in trouble a while ago. His affair with Zhang Yuanniang, a daughter of the Zhang family, was exposed, and he was put in solitary confinement by his enraged father, so he couldn't come either. As for his third brother, he was a dull and timid guy. What qualifications did he have to come to Li Changxuan's party? He didn't invite him.

Therefore, this banquet only invited princes, young men and young ladies from aristocratic families. Once the invitations were sent out, it was still hosted by the current empress dowager and the emperor's favorite fourth prince. Anyone who was prominent in the capital would definitely come to participate. Even if the Right Prime Minister's Mansion did not want to have anything to do with this trouble, it had to go there to maintain respect for the royal family.

But the Right Prime Minister was definitely unwilling to let his eldest daughter go. On his desk was the invitation letter that only invited the young people in the mansion. It was almost obvious what evil plans the Fourth Prince had. The other party was trying every means to meet his daughter. How could he give this bastard a chance?

So he said to Madam Yu, "Let Ziyin pretend to be sick and stay at home. Just let Yu Li, Fang Fang, and Zi Xi go over there."

Madam Yu also agreed with this approach. To such a banquet, even if the legitimate daughter did not go, as long as the legitimate son went, it would give face to the royal family. Otherwise, if only two concubines' daughters were allowed to go, it would indeed make people feel that the Right Prime Minister's Mansion did not take the prince seriously.

So, Yu Zinyin became "sick" and did not recover until the day of the banquet.

The reason why the news of Yu Zinyin's "illness" did not reach the ears of the Fourth Prince Li Changxuan was also because the Right Prime Minister did it on purpose. After all, this banquet was prepared by Li Changxuan for his daughter. If the other party knew that Yu Zinyin was ill, they would definitely think of another way to force Yu Zinyin to come over. This bastard would even most likely bring the imperial physician over. By then, the entire Right Prime Minister's Mansion would be put on the fire by the Fourth Prince. That was not what the Right Prime Minister wanted to see, so naturally he asked his subordinates to keep their mouths shut and let Yu Zinyin only move around in her own yard, so as not to spread any other rumors and let Li Changxuan know.

On the day of the banquet, not only the Fourth Prince wanted to see Yu Zinyin, but there were two other people who also wanted to see Yu Zinyin, one was the Prince Li Heng, and the other was Chen Jingchi.

Ever since the day when Crown Prince Li Heng discussed with the princess about writing a letter to the prince to express his intention to marry Yu Zinyin, he has been at peace for the time being. Now that the letter has been sent, he is waiting for his father's reply so that he can win the beauty. But at the same time, he is also itching to see the person he likes again. Thinking that this is a banquet hosted by the Fourth Prince, the Right Prime Minister will definitely be there, and then he will be able to see her. So, the first thing he did when he arrived at the banquet was to search for her in the area where the lady was, but unfortunately he didn't see her for a long time.

Maybe the people from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion haven't arrived yet.

Li Heng sat back in his seat with some disappointment. His seat was next to the Fourth Prince. After all, their fathers were an emperor and a prince respectively. Even if they were not born from the same mother, they were still brothers. So Li Heng and Li Changxuan were cousins. Therefore, when the positions were divided by rank, Li Heng's seat would be closer to the Fourth Prince Li Changxuan.

Li Heng couldn't help but glance at Chen Jingchi, who seemed to be looking for someone below, and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Ever since his last plot against Chen Jingchi failed, Chen Jingchi hadn't come to see him again, and even when they met at the academy, he was much colder. Li Heng didn't care about this. He was just the son of a second-rank official. Even if he guessed that he had plotted against him, what could he do? Therefore, the relationship between the two became very cold.

Chen Jingchi was also a little disappointed when he didn't see Yu Zinyin.

Ever since they parted at the Wanfo Temple, the woman's figure often appeared in his mind. He even dreamed that she was walking towards him with a smile on her face. However, the feeling of emptiness after waking up almost devoured his heart.

Call him lustful or wishful thinking, he knew that he had fallen into it, perhaps even without realizing it. Unfortunately, there were too many people standing between them, and it was too difficult for him to marry her.

Chen Jingchi glanced at the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince at the top with a hidden look.

He knew that there was absolutely no possibility for Yu Zinyin and the Fourth Prince Li Changxuan to be together. After the Right Prime Minister's Mansion knew that the Fourth Prince had a crush on Yu Zinyin, they would definitely take action to avoid the trouble of Li Changxuan. Therefore, Li Changxuan was not his enemy, and Chen Jingchi never regarded Li Changxuan as an enemy.

On the contrary, it was Li Heng. Li Heng had already regarded himself as a love rival and had plotted against him. If he did not deal with Li Heng, he would never have the chance to stand by Yu Zinyin's side, nor would he have the chance to retaliate against the other party for plotting against him.

The carriage from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion arrived at the door. After Yu Li led Yu Fangfang and Yu Zixi in, he let the two girls go to the seats for the ladies by themselves. He went to greet the Fourth Prince, but unexpectedly, Yu Fangfang looked at Yu Li hesitantly.

"Brother, I haven't met the prince yet. I want to see what he looks like," Yu Fangfang said. Finally, Yu Ziyin, the woman who would steal her limelight, fell ill. She had to seize every opportunity to meet powerful people so that she could find a husband for herself. The Fourth Prince was a good choice.

Of course, Yu Fangfang knew the rules of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. One of them was that they could not have any connection with the princes. But in fact, she had never understood why there was such a rule. In her opinion, as long as she had connections with the royal family, she could lead the entire Right Prime Minister's Mansion to greater prosperity. Moreover, she knew that the Fourth Prince was the most beloved son of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Even his mother was a favorite concubine, more powerful than the Empress. Maybe in the future he could become the Crown Prince and sit on that high position!
